FrenchConnection44 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Wow! Anderson!!! And, man, I love this team! They still have needs, IMO, but I also loved the end. F*** Tkachuk! Skinner did nothing wrong. It’s not like he is sitting there on the ice looking up at the clock! He was shooting as the buzzer went off. But how about Cozens and Krebs going after him! You gotta love both those guys. I love the feistiness of Krebs and Cozens both. Hell yeah! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they'd be better off ending up in 8th rather than 7th. Boston is a much better matchup for them than Carolina. Even though Boston is the better team.

Pimlach Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Sabres 40-28 lead in face offs. We also had more hits. No doubt the Sabres were tired and were outshot in the 2nd and 3rd. But they got that critical 3rd goal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanSlinky39 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) We have a pretty damn good team right now and still have the #1 farm system in the league. Just don’t get people’s issues with KA. Imagine this team 2-3 years down the road…and they’re building towards long term contention.

We finally have something good going It's amazing how people jump to a dire response after a bad game. The tandem of Adams and Granato have done an exceptional job in a relatively short period of time. Sometimes it is difficult to put things in perspective when caught up in the emotion of the present. I didn't think that the Sabres would win both games in Florida. So I'm ecstatic about the two wins. What this team needs to do is play better at home. If they do, that will solidify their playoff position. The Washington game at home is a big game.

And should they get there, then put the Loafs in the sights. And should they get there, go get the Bolts. The higher in the standings they are, the more room for error they gain. But, between 7th and 8th exclusively 8th is the better slot for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerreaultForever Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Defensively, that was without a doubt the best game the Sabres have played since something back in the Bylsma era (when they could play some decent D, they just couldn't score). Yes, there were a lot of shots, but a lot of sight lines were clear and for the most part they cleared the front and the rebounds. Team win all the way. They do not look like a team firing on all cylinders. The Barkov injury obviously hampers them, but imo we were simply better and we wanted it more. I don't want to over analyze too much, as I'm just happy tonight. It's been a long time coming and maybe we are finally getting there. Side notes - Reinhart lost every board battle he was in and just floated around the net like the butterfly he is. My favourite moment of the night was "Reinhart with the giveaway". Add that to Rob Ray's "the egos are no longer in the room" and I'm just smiling. I think I will be smiling all night. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
